R.C.A.F. ground crew
;Aj despatch from Ottawa Sunday
says that a manpower potential of
perhaps 50,000 men was made a-
vailable for military call-up as a
result of an announcement Satur
day by Labor Minister Mitchell,
He said that effective Monday
all men discharged from the armed
forces and who have not had serv
ice outside Canada will be made
w subject to army draft regulations,
Affected most by the announce
ment are
and administrative staff personnel
who will be discharged between
now and March 31 when the big
Oommoiifwealth Air Training Plan
closes.‘
The Canadian ground staff of
the plan totaled 62,83*0 when the
peak period of training was reached
last summer, but this number has
been whittled down a^ the curtail
ment program was carried out.
The regulation is not retroactive.
Present and future graduates o&
the plan and flying personnel en
gaged as instructors are exempt
from the call-up as are air force
and navy personnel with operation
al experience from eitlier coast—
such as Coastal Command patrols
and convoy escort,
In exempting flying personnel
from call, Mr. Mitchell said the
Defence Department recognized
these men provided an essential
reserve which might be needed to
meet* future commitments.
An air forcie spokesman added
that aircrew men were trained at
a cost, of between $20.0i0i0 and
$30,000 each and .miltary planners
conceded it would be a waste t.o
make this- flying potential available
to tUd army ah'd -out of reach of
an all’ force emergency call.
Mr. Mitchell said that
medihal
chargee”
h;e will be liable to direction t.o
essential industry.
Previously only “dischargees”
with less than three years’ service
in Canada could be recalled for
military service. Several monlt.hs

to Miss Luker: Dear Gladys—Here
I am with a short note to let you
know that I received the Christmas
parcel from the Institute a few
days ago and once again it was a
swell parcel and I was very, pleased
to get it. Everthing was in good
shape and nothing was damaged,
It pays tp take a few extra pains in
packing the boxes because some
that come are pretty badly smashed
up. I- have always ■ "been lucky,
though, and have no complaints in
that respect, Then, too, I got your
card today with the enclosed let
ter and I am always glad to hear
from you. I had already heard
from mother telling me that ’Docle’
Sangster got home safely and I
know that the boy^that are getting
home are getting great receptions.
As you probably know, I Spent my
last leave with ’Dade’ and Dave
and we really had a great time in
Yorkshire. I’m glad that we had
a ‘get together’ before ‘Dode’ got
home. It was our first reunion
since coming over here. Now' that
I know where Dave is stationed,
we should be able to see each other
fairly often. ‘Dode’ would be able
to give you all a good report on
me, I suppose, and so eliminate
any doubts as to the condition £
am in. As a matter of fact, I am
in Grade 1 shape again and ready
for anything (almost). Just now I
am working in the office of Regt'l.
H.Q, and I like the job fine, I will
be working at Christmas
a 48-hour pass coming
Year’s time. There isn’t
deal of news to tell you
Things keep going much the same
as usual and social life is fairly
dull. We spend most of our spare
time in going to shows here in the
camp and that is O.K. I am on duty
every third night here In the of
fice and that isn’t so 'good I'm not
too badly situated, though, and
consider myself pretty lucky. There
are lots worse places to be, I don’t
know what my chances are of going
back to the front but should imag
ine that they are fairly good. The
men are badly needed there and re
inforcements don’t seem to be
coming over so good. I have had
a good rest and am ready. Well,
it looks as if I have reached the
end of another letter of thanks to
you, Gladys, and I wish I could
express my appreciation for all that
the people are doing for us here a,
bit better than. I do. I really do
appreciate the good work that you
are doing back there.
I shall close with many
the parcel and hoping
we shall be home to
personally. Best' regards
mas and the New Year.—As always,
Jim Campbell.
Dear Mrs. Schwalm—I received
your most welcome Christmas par
cel today, ■ I wish to thank you one
and all very sincerely who provide
these parcels for us over here. It
sure brings back fond memories
of the friends we left behind us.
But here is hoping-we shall all be
back again before long. The"par-
cel was in. first class condition.
The home-made candy and cookies
are sure a treat. Things are not
going too bad over here at present.
We are sure having a lot of rain
though. The other morning when
I looked out of our two by four,
there was about three inches of
snow on the ground and the trees
were hanging white. Sure brought
back fond memories of the good
old winter time at home. It’s all
gone now but there’s liable to be,
plenty more before the winter is
over. As there is not much more
to say I’ll close for the time, Hope
you all have a Merry Christinas and
a Happy New Year. Thanks again
for the parcel.—YOurs sincerely,

Local Juveniles Defeat
In Close Game
Wilson’s overtime goal
home a happy squad of
last Friday night with their second
Win over the Clinton lads, by the
same score of 4-3,
It was a close battle all the way
.with the count at the end of each
semester a tie, Each team got two
in the first, one in the second and.
none in the third. But early in the
overtime session Wilson broke up
a play from the two Hanly’s near
the Exeter blueline and raced down
-the right boards to blast a long
accurate drive past Miller for the
pay-off counter. It was Doug’s
third goal of the eveningj bringing
his total to six in the two games.
A good crowd turned out in sup
port of their team and although
the ice was a trifle sticky the fans
witnessed a see-saw battle in
neither team was ahead by
than one goal at -any time,
teams showed improvement
the first game here at Exeter. The
forwards of the local pucksters are
gaining' more confidence and al
though the passing plays of the
Clinton lads gave them more trouble
they 'backchecked hard to hold
Clinton in toe.
The changing of Pete Ellis to a
defence position was an alteration
in the local lineup that seems to be
a good piece of strategy on the
part of coach Moore and manager
Ford. Pete is doing a better job
every time out and worked very
effectively at the blueline as well
as to spark the offensive attack.
Hayter, Exeter’s husky centre on
the first line, was one lad that
absorbed some hard body checks
by hig Hugh Miller at the Clinton
defence but the kid gathered
self up each time and went
for more. His killing time

Flyers from last year's army squad,

Hollinger and Porter were two of

The game opened at a fast clip
and there was every evidence of
rugged hockey. Ere seven minutes

count but Shaw put the airmen on

CHATHAM ONTARIO
ONTARIO S 1944 sugar beet crop, harvested from
14,472 acres, totalled 131,328 tons, an average of
, over nine tons of beets per acre despite weather con
ditions which were far from ideal owing to the long
period of drought in the latter part of the summer. Sugar
content averaged 18.54% over the entire crop but
showed considerable variations in different sections of
the territory.
The average value per acre to growers, taking in all
fields —• good, bad and in-between — was $112.50 for
factory delivered beets, or $105.75 for beets delivered
at outside points. Even after paying for hired labour to
do thinning, second hoeing and harvesting, growers
averaged over $75.00 per acre for their beets.
Segmented Seed
About 70% or more of segmented beet seeds contain but a single seed
germ. Over 5,000 acres were planted to this seed in 1944 and it proved satis
factory in most cases. The segmented seed fields showed good stands of beefs
yet the work of thinning was much reduced. Indications are that more growers
will ask for segmented seed in 1945.
Labour:
The 300 German prisoners of war quartered near Chatham were a great
help in thinning and second hoeing the crop. In the main they did good jobs.
They were not needed for beet harvesting as there was plenty of regular skilled
beet labour available for this work. The prisoners, however, were most useful in
helping with other crops and were much in demand all through the season up
to the end of October. The prisoners are anxious to return to Southwestern
Ontario this year and the farmers want them back — and more of them, prefer
ably scattered in several Gamps instead of centralized in the one compound.
Sugar:
Almost forty million pounds of sugar was outturned from Ontario beefs in
1944 — over twice as much as in 1943, Farmers can easily double or triple this
amount in 1945. A HUNDRED MILLION POUNDS OF HOME-GROWN
SUGAR WILL HELP A LOT, The industrial sugar ration has already been cut
and leading sugar authorities are emphatic in stating that the future sugar*
situation is a critical one.
Mechanical Unloaders:
The Company has invested over a hundred thousand dollars in mechanical
unloading equipment to give growers quick and easy unloading of their beets.
We are out to get all the additional equipment of this type which the United
States will release to us this year. Our ultimate objective: Mechanical unloading
far every farmer’s beets!
Mechanical Beet Harvester:
The Company secured and tested a John Deere beet harvester and a loader
in 1944. Some difficulties were encountered with the harvester owing to the
extremely dry, hard condition of the soil which prevailed last fall. The mechani
cal loader did an excellent job but some modifications are required In tHe
harvester to adapt it to our conditions. However, there is no doubt that we
are on the threshold of a new era of mechanical handling of sugar beefs.
Growers' Comments:
The most frequent statement we heard from growers was: “1 wish I had
put in more beets this year!"
Sugar Beet Acreage in 1945
The Company is prepared to staff and equip both the
Chatham and WallaCeburg refineries for 1945 full-scale
operation if the farmers will grow the beets. Sugar is
the one crop of which there is no possible danger of
overproduction in 1945!
